There should be 8 Novembers in a year

Everybody loves November! If you forget about the freezing temperatures, the depressively dark days, the fact you arrive sweaty everywhere, the general low mood and blue hands, but focus one the one good thing that makes November Month Of The Year. No, not the hot chocolate picnics, the cosy cuddling and endless pie baking. I'm talking about the MUSTACHES! The eleventh month of every year turns into the beautiful month of Movember. Men don't shave their mustache for a month. Not only do they look manly funny with their furry upper lip, all men around the world also celebrate the mustache as a symbol of manliness. By doing this in Movember, gentlemen (men with mustaches are allowed to be called gentlemen, whether or not they hold doors open and carry your bags) highlight men's health issues and raise funds for charities like the Prostate Cancer Foundation. And of course this makes us, women, very happy and eager to join the good cause. Ladies, I'm not telling you to grow a bush underneath your nose or to make a competition between you and your male friends about who has the longest leg hair. These girls came up with a pretty good idea, without being a walking hairball. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GudcxvmHoyQ&feature=share
Proof: ladies can pull off a mustache ;)

Why I want my bathtub filled with chocolate

Everybody knows about the healing powers of chocolate. The brown gold brings you up when your spirit is low, mends a broken heart, tightens your trousers, funkies up your morning coffee, provides a sweet shoulder to cry on, gives you an instant energyboost and puts a smile on the face of even the grumpiest of people. That's why I present to you: my all time favourite dessert, snack, or why not, Monday morning breakfast... And the only reason I can think of that makes me a true Belgian. Did you know Belgian people have chocolate running through their vains instead of blood? True story.
I would love to swim in that goodness.
